Believe (NBC)Starring:Jake McLaughlin, Kyle MacLachlanSummary: An unlikely relationship develops between a young girl (Johnny Sequoyah) with a gift and a man (Jake McLaughlin) sprung from prison who has been tasked with protecting her from the evildoers who covet her power, among them Skouras (McLachlan), a mysterious billionaire.Pedigree:Harry Potter's Alfonso Cuaron and The Forgotten's Mark Friedman will write and executive-produce the drama with Lost's J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk.Why we like it: The script was bursting with what will likely turn into visually stunning shots and effects at the hands of Cuaron. Why it has a shot: The pedigree alone should be enough to land this drama a spot on the network's schedule, especially since Abrams' Bad Robot gave NBC its only bona fide hit last season with Revolution.

Beverly Hills Cop (CBS)Starring:Eddie Murphy, Brandon T. Jackson, Christine LahtiSummary: In a sorta-sequel to the movie franchise, the police officer son (Jackson) of Axel Foley (Murphy) patrols the rich and famous of Beverly Hills under the leadership of Lahti's Captain Chernick.Pedigree:The Shield's Shawn Ryan will write and executive-produce the drama with Murphy.Why we like it: Axel Foley's young son is just as hilarious — if not more so — than his legendary pops!Why it has a shot: Even those who never saw the original films will be attracted to the lavish, gritty world of California's sunshine-noir. Plus: CBS isn't likely to pass up the opportunity to bring Murphy back to TV.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Fox)Starring:, Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Terry CrewsSummary: A group of detectives — including Samberg, Braugher and Crews — form an odd family in a police precinct in an outermost neighborhood of New York City.Pedigree:Parks and Recreation's Mike Schur and Dan Goorwill write and executive-produce the comedy with 30 Rock's David Miner.Why we like it: Samberg, the former SNLgoofball, has a chance to prove he can navigate both comedy and tragedy, bringing to mind Hill Street Bluesand M*A*S*H.Why it has a shot: Schur, Goor and Samberg all know comedy cold.

Mom (CBS)Starring:Anna Faris, Allison JanneySummary: A newly sober single mom (Faris) — who blames her own mother (Janney) for her issues — tries to pull her life together in Napa Valley.Pedigree:Two and a Half Men's Chuck Lorre will write and executive-produce the comedy with Men's Eddie Gorodetsky.Why we like it: True to form,Lorre doesn't skimp on the schadenfreude as Faris' hot mess Christy enables our own feelings of superiority. Why it has a shot: It's doubtful CBS will say no to Lorre, who has given the network three hit series (Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theoryand Mike & Molly). Plus: The chemistry between Faris and Janney is sure to be undeniable.

Oxygen (The CW)Starring:Aimee Teegarden, Matt LanterSummary: An epic romance ignites between a human girl (Teegarden) and an alien boy (Lanter) when he and eight others of his kind start attending high school in the suburbs.Pedigree:The Good Wife's Meredith Averill will write and executive-produce the drama with Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocolproducer Josh Appelbaum.Why we like it: It feels like District 9-meets-Romeo and Juliet. Why it has a shot: Sure, it's a Roswell-esque drama about aliens, but at its core, it's a high school love story — something at which The CW excels. Plus: 90210's Lanter and Friday Night Lights' Teegarden have valuable name recognition.

Rake (Fox)Starring:Greg Kinnear, Miranda OttoSummary: Kinnear stars as a brilliant, charming defense attorney whose biggest challenges exist outside the courtroom — he owes money to the IRS and a bookie, he's juggling overlapping affairs, and he has a cranky kid and an exhausted ex-wife (Otto).Pedigree:Peter Duncan, creator of the original Australian series, and Rescue Me'sPeter Tolan will write and executive-produce the drama. Why we like it: It's not your typical legal series: Kinnear's character is at times more depraved than his clients, and watching his constant recalibration of his moral compass is intriguing.Why it has a shot: Fox will likely want to repeat the success it had with bringing Kevin Bacon to TV in The Followingby locking down Oscar nominee Kinnear.

Super Fun Night (ABC)Starring:Rebel WilsonSummary: Kimmie (Wilson) and her two best friends (Lauren Ash and Liza Lapira) worry that their Friday-night tradition of staying home in their pajamas will be threatened when Kimmie gets a big promotion at her law firm and is invited to a party by the cute transfer from the London office (Kevin Bishop). It's time to take Super Fun Night on the road!Pedigree:Wilson will write and executive-produce the comedy with Conan O'Brien and Conan's Jeff Ross.Why we like it: As in all her roles, Wilson (Bridesmaids, Pitch Perfect) dives head-first into Kimmie, who is both pathetic and endearing -- but mostly pathetic. And let's be honest, we all want to spend Friday night in our PJs. This way, we can do it vicariously with a sympathetic, hilarious heroine. Why it has a shot:Fat Amy Wilson is among the hottest names in comedy right now; of course ABC wants to be in business with her.

Tomorrow People (The CW)Starring:Peyton List, Robbie Amell (Arrow star Stephen Amell's cousin), Mark PellegrinoSummary: Based on the U.K. series of the same name, it's the story of a group of young people from around the globe — List and Amell among them — who represent the next stage in human evolution and possess special powers like teleportation and telepathy. They work together to defeat the forces of evil. Genre stable Pellegrino (Lost,Revolution, Supernatural) plays the villain.Pedigree:Chuck's Phil Klemmer will write and executive-produce with The Vampire Diaries' Julie Plec and Arrow's Greg Berlanti.Why we like it: It's the promise that Heroes never quite fulfilled, combined with the CW's special talent for eye candy. Plus: What a great companion show for Arrow. Why it has a shot: Ordering People to series would expand the network's relationship with Plec and Berlanti, two of the network's most valuable players.
